FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Step Inside ‘The Author’s Studio’
Edina, Minn., Dec. 28, 2011 – The Edina Art Center is excited to announce a new program
called “The Author’s Studio,” part of a continuing effort to explore new artistic mediums. Local
author Colin T. Nelson will interview a variety of writers from the Twin Cities at the Art
Center starting 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012. The program will continue the second Saturday
of each month.
Like in the old television show, “Inside the Actor’s Studio,” the interviewer will explore each
author’s background and work and moderate an audience question-and-answer session.
Authors will also read excerpts from their books.
Each month, the program will offer different genres of writing, ranging from mystery to
historical fiction to poetry. The writers have been selected for the quality of their work and
their interesting personalities.
The program will kick off with writer Christopher Valen, who will talk about “Bad Weeds
Never Die,” the third book in his award-winning St. Paul-based police mystery series.
Books will be available for signing and sale and refreshments will be provided.
Attendance is free, though donations are welcome.
Seating is limited, so reservations are required. Email or call to reserve your spot
at artcenter@ci.edina.mn.us or 952-903-5780. The Edina Art Center is located at 4701 W 64th
St.
